FREQUENCY SELECTION See FCC Warning page iv This procedure should be used when 25 kHz channel spacing is required. If 8.33 kHz channel spacing is being used, refer to paragraph 71 on page 17. 64 The radio can be set to any operational frequency without allocating the frequency to a channel. To set the frequency, proceed as follows: (a) Using the numerical data keys, enter the required frequency, then press the FREQ key. The equipment is now set to operate on the selected frequency.
CHANNEL FREQUENCY SETTING See FCC Warning page iv This procedure should be used when 25 kHz channel spacing is required. If 8.33 kHz channel spacing is being used, refer to paragraph 71 on page 17. 65 Up to 99 channels can be stored in the equipment’s memory. Each stored channel comprises an associated frequency, and operational mode information. The following example details how to pre-set channel 16 with a frequency of 251.
CHANNEL RECALL 67 Channels may be recalled by using the numerical data keys to select the required channel number, then pressing the RCL key. For example to recall channel 16, the sequence would be as follows: (a) Using the numerical data keys enter the channel number required, e.g. 16. The displays (in edit mode) show: FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR 251.025 16 16 . (b) Press the RCL key.
8.33 kHz CHANNEL OPERATION See FCC Warning page iv 69 The 3000DV2 VHF, or V/UHF, radios can operate between 118.000 MHz and 136.975 MHz using 8.33 kHz channel spacing. When setting a radio’s operating frequency to operate with 8.33 kHz channel spacing, a special frequency designation should be entered from the front panel, not the actual frequency. 70 Table 4-1 shows the special frequency pattern over the frequency range 118.0000 MHz to 118.1916 MHz.
Frequency Selection for 8.33 KHz Channel Spacing See FCC Warning page iv 72 The radio can be set to any operational frequency using 8.33 kHz channel spacing without allocating the frequency to a channel. For example, to set 118.0083 MHz: (a) Refer to Table 4- to determine the frequency designation for the actual frequency of 118.0083 MHz. Using the numerical data keys, enter the frequency designation 118.010 MHz. The displays (in edit mode) show: FREQUENCY CHANNEL MONITOR CHANNEL MONITOR 118.010.
Channel Frequency Setting for 8.33 KHz Channel Spacing See FCC Warning page iv 73 Up to 99 channels can be stored in the equipment’s memory. Each stored channel comprises an associated frequency, and operational mode information. The frequencies can operate with 25 kHz channel spacing, 8.33 kHz channel spacing, or a mixture of both. The following example details how to pre-set channel 37 with a frequency of 126.
SYSTEM RESET 75 The system reset command resets the radio resulting in all options, channel and synthesiser calibration information being lost. Before further use, and following this command, an auto-calibrate procedure must be carried out (see paragraph 77). 76 The system reset key sequence 91, (SHIFT s), RESET resets the radio and returns it to a known state. After a system reset (plus auto-calibrate) frequency and channel settings must be re-entered.
OPTIONS, SOFTWARE VERSIONS, AND RADIO TYPE MENUS 81 There are three menus (options, software versions and radio type) available via the front panel. Options (in the options menu) can be viewed and changed, the other two menus are read only. The key sequences needed to view each particular type are shown in Table 4-2.
Note ... If option 05 is selected without either option 07 or 12 selected, the following error message will be displayed during a POST check: FREQUENCY noFLgn CHANNEL -- MONITOR POSt 86 The following sequence shows how to activate marine mode. in the example shown the key sequence is continued after enabling option 10, to show all available selections, but can be terminated at any time by pressing the STORE key, and then switching the set off and back on.

BUILT-IN TEST (BIT) OPERATION 110 The BIT functions monitor key radio parameters and provides an indication if an equipment malfunction occurs. The BIT functions in three different ways: ❏ Power-On Self-Test (POST) ❏ Continuously monitored functions ❏ Interruptive self-test routines. POWER-ON SELF-TEST 111 A power-on self-test (POST) is performed to check the basic functionality of the radio.
115 On error the MEM key can be used to view each problem in turn, so that each POST problem can be noted.
INTERRUPTIVE SELF-TEST ROUTINE 119 This test is initiated by pressing the TEST key. During the self-test routine, normal operation of the equipment is suspended, and the TEST indicator is on. 120 At the start of the test, the fault memory is cleared and the MEM indicator is turned off. If a fault is found, the module and test point number is stored in the fault memory, and the MEM indicator turned on. The test routine then proceeds to the next module.
FAULT MEMORY 122 The fault memory contains one location for each module. The contents of the memory can be viewed by pressing the memory (MEM) key. Successive MEM key presses display any other stored faults in rotation. 123 Internal faults are displayed on the monitor display as module number and test point number. External faults are displayed as ANT 1, ANT 2, °C, PS, and EbIt indicating VHF transmitter VSWR, UHF transmitter VSWR, temperature, supply voltage, and an external equipment fault respectively.

One or more radios in split-site configuration is a transceiver Reconfigure radios and restart. 42 43 44 45 * Two transmitter split. Both radios in split-site are transmitters * Two receiver split. Both radios in split-site are receivers * VHF/UHF split.
USER MAINTENANCE FILTER CLEANING 125 The air filters, fitted to the equipment’s rear panel, should be cleaned every six months (or more regularly in high dust conditions). The filter is cleaned as follows: (a) Ensure that the equipment has been isolated from the input ac and dc supplies. (b) At the rear of the unit, locate and remove the two screws that secure the fan filter housing to the rear panel (see Fig. 4). (c) Remove the filter housing, fan EMC screen and filters.
